Game over! Wow! That was not the way to do it, but I'll take it!

What are you talking about? That was the Todd Jones pitching. Of course that's the way he does it! Anything else and it's not Todd Jones!

Anything worse and he might be Rodney...

I'm sorry, guys, Jones hit my bitch button. I obviously need sleep... or a sedative.

LOL Bobrob....There's the Right way....and then there's the Jones way...but they both get it done....usually. lol

You just didn't want to see him pull a Fernan-DOH!....It's perfectly understandable!

TODD JONES RULES!

He tied the record with 5 straight. Tomorrow will break it.

This ties or beats Horton, I think!

Now you need to add Miner...

LEYLAND BETTER NOT BENCH HIM

Thames is tied with Horton

Thames stands alone in Tigers history with his last 8 hits all being Homeruns....If Dan and Jim are correct...lol

If he had, well, you'd of all been introduced that dark side of me you guys have never seen (On a crazy, random, and unrelated note: how bad would it be if the Hulk were a Tigers fan and he freaked out every time Jones pitched?)

THAMES GONNA HIT 50 THIS YEAR

Ooooh... Thames

THAMES IS ON FIRE

Lily...well....I also consider that it's a Full Moon tonight (or real close to it!)....so all it's all good! As for the Hulk....YIKES! We'd be seeing a big green monster charging the mound on a regular basis...and Jones would shit himself! lol

Thames is a monster!

Alright, I'd seriously pay to see that.

That he is Gs....and he's made my list of favorite Tigers! lol

He can't be shut down!


Gonna hit 50 HR'S

Quote :

The sum total had Thames on the verge of a club record Tuesday. Thames'
homer streak is one off the franchise record of five games, last
matched by Willie Horton in 1969 and shared with Hank Greenberg, Rudy
York and Vic Wertz.

So it is tied!!!!! Now beat it tomorrow!

I hope so, but I'll remain optimistically skeptic.
